As you may have noticed, it's been quiet around here the last week, and that's because the semester has started for me in London (where I'm teaching this fall). But I wanted to first tell you of an exciting new development: I expected that I'd have trouble keeping up with the blog while here, so I've been able to arrange for semester-long fix: actual TV majors running News for TV Majors!

This is happening courtesy of Ethan Tussey, an Assistant Professor in the Communication Dept at Georgia State University, who is teaching a Media Industries course this fall. His MA students will be taking over the blog, so it should finally get back on a regular schedule, and it will benefit from their expertise and fresh perspectives. That should get rolling next week, so be prepared for a whole new N4TVM era!

21st Century Fox reportedly declined a settlement over Fox News sexual and racial discrimination allegations. For his part, Eric Bolling is suing the reporter who broke the news of his alleged sexts. Erin Gloria Ryan writes, "Fox News seems to be functioning less like a news organization with a sexism problem and more like a sexism organization with a news hobby."

About This Site

This site is intended to keep TV Studies students (and anyone else who's interested in TV) informed about the latest news, reviews, and views about television. I'll post anything I come across that seems like something a TV scholar should know about, care about, or read about. If you think something fits that category and you don't see it posted here, send it to me at cbecker1/at/nd.edu.
